“Summer, don’t take his words seriously. Just listen and ignore them,” Zeke stated, “I, Zeke Williams, have a clear conscience.”
Humpty continued insulting Zeke, “Where’s your dignity? Who gave you the courage to say something so shameless?”
“Fine, let’s not talk about this for the time being. Let’s focus on the fact that aunt Ruby here was framed.”
Ruby became emotional. “Charlie, what do you mean by that?” “Do you mean you can prove that I was set up?”
Humpty nodded. “Definitely. This is the main reason why I called you two here today.”
Ruby’s face was full of gratefulness. “Charlie, thank you. You’ve helped aunt Ruby very much.”
Humpty snapped his fingers and announced, “Come out now.”
Soon, a blond guy got out of Humpty’s car.
As soon as she saw who it was, Ruby, with her blood boiling, lunged forward and grabbed the blondie’s collar. “Ba****d! It’s you! It’s definitely you!”
“Charlie, this man is the one who framed me. Hurry up and send him to the police.”
Humpty responded calmly, “Aunt Ruby, calm down. I’ve got complete control over him. You can let him go. He won’t run away.”
“Charlie, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to let this go until I die,” Ruby expressed her gratitude towards Humpty yet again.
Humpty remarked, “We’re all family. No need to be so courteous.”
“Blondie, I’m going to hand you over to the police now. Do you have anything to say?”
The blondie’s eyes darted left and right until his gaze finally landed on Zeke.
He ran towards Zeke abruptly while screaming, “Boss! Save me! Save me!”
Summer and Ruby were dumbfounded.
Boss? Save me?
What is he saying?
Is this blondie Zeke’s subordinate?
The blondie rushed up to where Zeke was and knelt to the ground. “Boss, you need to save me. They plan on calling the police and arresting me.”
Zeke replied coldly, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”
The blondie started wailing. “Boss, that Charlie guy has already investigated thoroughly. It was you who ordered me to frame teacher Ruby. He has conclusive evidence. There’s nothing we can say to get out of this!”
“I have parents and children. I cannot go to jail! You must save me...”
A buzz resounded in the brains of the mother-daughter pair as they tried arduously to put together this stunning revelation.
The person who framed Ruby Baxter for accepting students’ bribes turned out to be Zeke Williams!
He...He’s so cruel!
Even so, Summer felt slightly doubtful. Based on how well she knew Zeke, she figured it was unlikely that he would do such a thing.
She swallowed nervously before asking, “Mr. Williams, this...what’s going on? Are you really the one who framed my mother?”
Zeke answered, “I don’t even know the guy. He’s trying to frame me.”
“My ass,” Humpty cursed, “You can’t deceive anyone with that.”
“The truth is out in the open, yet you still try to argue. If you confess now and kneel to apologize, I won’t call the police on you.”
Zeke spoke up, “Hehe, Humpty, is this all you can do? To tell you the truth, you’ve really disappointed me.”
Ruby’s eyes were reddish as she locked her eyes on Zeke.
Never could she have imagined that Zeke was malicious enough to almost ruin her life.
To think that she had intended to let her daughter marry him...
What a joke.
In the face of such hard and compelling evidence, she believed every word that Humpty had said.
She gritted her teeth. “Zeke, we don’t have any grudges against each other. Why did you try to frame me?”
